Larger text for 4K? (actual 4K 4096x2160)

[ARNUD SWAZZANEGGER]

Seems pointless to have the option for "Consumer 4K" (3840x2160) and even more pointless to have the option for actual 4K (4096x2160) when the text is so small.

I set the HUD option to Large, but this of course made little difference.

I'm playing on a 65" TV and i sit around 6 to 6.5ft away (usually a control pad user) but like playing RTS games this way as well.

So are there any mods, or perhaps some text file changes i can add to make text larger?

I haven't tried it, but it might still work - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1438112925&searchtext=increased

Thanks for the link to that, but i read on a youtube vid a couple of people saying this caused unexpected 'text overflows' in a way which made some key things totally unreadable for them, while it mostly worked. I should have mentioned i had read this one already.

Again though thank you very much for finding it and linking to it, as it could help someone else in some way.

No harm in playing at 1440 or 1080 if need be, but when they have an option for actual 4K resolutions in games, if it looks ok, i'd prefer to use it.

For example, in case you've never bothered to try it, or maybe if you don't even play it, The Division 2 in actual 4K is gorgeous, and the characters are in better proportion (slightly thinner), whereas "consumer 4K" they seem a little 'chubby' almost LOL

Well then, you can try my solution (it does not affect all text, but “in-game” text, i.e. it does not affect the main menu text):

For actual version (v2.10.21415) and 3840 x 2160 (ONLY this) resolution:
1. Launch the game, go to settings. Set HUD size to "Normal".
2. Close game.
3. Go to the game folder.
4. Save a backup of the original file (Engine.dll).
5. Download this https://drive.google.com/file/d/190ehvHPsimbBmHmbnymf57UkAweR1Wq8/.
6. Replace the original file with the downloaded file.
7. Enter the game with any character.
8. Change HUD size in the settings to "Medium" or "Large".
